After cutting it straight on the worktop without a chopping board, too. Fuck your knives, fuck your surfaces, fuck cleaning up afterwards.

Seems fair both ways to me. That doesn't seem an unreasonable amount of pay for a day's work, as even if the 'final product' is only a minute, it will still have stopped him from doing much other work that day. Contrariwise, if he'd been asking for any more, the client would have been able to find someone else to do it just as well at the original price, since the requirement is basically 'clearly spoken'. Wouldn't make sense to get Ian McKellen in to interpret this bit of acting work.

Using LLMs for corporate communications - automatically-generated complaint responses, and the like - usually has swearing disabled, so if you want to fuck up their shit, be sure to express yourself with as many fucking swears as possible. Let's get that shit into those cunt's language models ASAP.

The sound will eventually dissipate in the air as heat. The light will be absorbed into surfaces, like any other radiation, as heat. Still 100%, but with a couple extra stops along the way.

Varies even within a language. El ordenador in Iberian Spanish, la computadora in Latin America.

Such a fan that you've gone with the username, too? Good stuff.

Same problem as the old Infocom Hitchhiker's Guide adventure, I think. They'd prioritised making 'Discworld' puzzles over puzzles that were fun, interesting or made any sense. The animation, voice acting still make it an entertaining game if you've got a guide next to you, and it's great seeing how they've interpreted what's in the books onto the screen. The design hasn't aged well, though?

Yep, exactly - best PVP, best DLC, every weapon has a place in a build somewhere. Doing a run-through with a weapon you've not used before is fun. Challenge runs like 'equip six elemental daggers' (or six elemental caestus!) are actually a laugh, swap between them as needed to keep your damage high. I finished an SL1 run of all the DS games in anticipation of Elden Ring coming out; Scholar is by far the most brutal, 2 is a close second. (DS3 feels like a puzzle box at SL1 to me; DS1, I hope you like casting fireballs and the hand-axe moveset.) It feels a lot more replayable than the other Dark Souls games to me.

Really? If it's a big enough treatment works to warrant a SCADA, then I doubt an automation engineer with the experience to set it all up would be asking this question, but here goes. You've a couple of obstacles:

• every contract I've ever seen for industrial automation has either specified which control plane they want directly, or they'll have a list of approved suppliers which you must use. Someone after you will have to maintain this. Those maintainers will only accept the things that they have been trained on. Those things are Windows PCs running Windows software. They will reject anything else. The people running network security on those machines will have a very short list of the acceptable operating systems for running SCADA systems. That list will be a couple of versions of Windows Server. They will also reject anything else.

• that's not nearly enough information to make a recommendation. Which PLCs? Allen Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, ...? I can't think of a job I've ever been on where the local HMI hasn't matched the PLCs. The SCADA software almost invariably matches the PLCs used in the main motor control centre, with perhaps a couple of oddball PLCs for proprietary panels and such like. Could maybe ask the supplier if they've a Linux alternative? Siemens will laugh at you and Mitsi won't understand the question, but AB just might.

Sorry - I'm a Linux evangelist, but I don't think it's a good fit for here. SCADA performance generally isn't bad due to Windows Server - it's fine, does what it's intended to - but because eg. STEP 7 is an appallingly slow and bloated piece of software which would bring a mainframe to its knees. Which is bizarre - the over-the-wire protocol connecting the machines is generally a short binary blob described in the PLC configuration - these bits are the drive statuses, these bits are an int or a float for an instrument readout - and it shouldn't be at all slow updating it all, but slow it is.

Having read Atlus Shrugged, I can confirm that it is a waste of time and that you have better judgement than I. Two-thirds of a million words of beige prose where one-dimensional characters battle unconvincing strawmen for the future of humanity; they win by running away and broadcasting a multi-hour radio message.

They didn't pull DMC2 just out of principle? Foolishness, Dante, foolishness.
